Most of my work with the Transformational Breathing takes place one-on-one with clients, who come to the beautiful island of Lanzarote to take time out to focus on their desired change, health and/or spirituality. Feedback is consistently great and many people find the experience to be a turning point in their life journeys.
The Breath is powerful in any situation, however, when you choose to experience daily 1-1 sessions, having removed yourself from the demands of everyday life and then add to that the experience of discovering Lanzarote’s awe-inspiring landscapes the results multiply exponentially. Walking on pristine sandy beaches or swimming in the crystal clear ocean is the ideal way to integrate changes brought about by your daily breath sessions and infinitely preferable to having to take a crowded tube or deal with traffic jams post-session.
I think of Lanzarote as the ‘other therapist’ in the equation and have begun to refer to it as ‘the Magic Island’. Not so much rabbits and hats but peak experiences and life-changing results. If you’re ready to move onwards and upwards this could well be for you.
In essence Breathing Space retreats are about taking time out to deepen and improve the quality of the relationship you have with yourself. I think of them as ' fast track evolution'. Each person has their own unique experience. For some, it´s about getting physically healthier, for others it may be about working with mental or emotional issues and others may have more 'spiritual' goals in mind. Often it´s a mixture of all of these aspects. The forms are infinite and happily the results are consistently great.
As each person's needs are so unique the format is flexible and informal as possible. The only thing that is scheduled each day is your daily 1-1 breath session. Some people choose to focus completely on breathwork and those wanting quantum change may do more than one session daily. Other guests choose to add yoga / personal training / volcano climbing into the mix, all of which are available . Most folks come for a week but its possible to come for as little as 3 days or as long as a month.
Accommodation:
My villa is situated in a rural location with sea and volcano views five minutes drive from the beautiful beach at Famara.
There is an independent apartment attached to and separate from the villa with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom, fully equipped kitchen , lounge and shower/wc. N.B The shower/wc is off the double bedroom. The twin room is therefore only available to partners, children or friends.
There are also two double bedrooms within the villa itself one with private bathroom/wc and one with a shared bathroom/wc. Both these bedrooms have access to the lounge and kitchen facilities.
The maximum number of clients staying at the villa/apartment at any one time will be four. You can be as private or as involved as you wish to be. Most people choose to do both at different times during their stay. The synergy tends to be such that clients often say the other people present during their stay really added to their experience.
There is also a large terrace which has a pool, loungers, bar-b , outside dining area for 6 as well as great volcano and sea views so in between sessions this is where most people tend to meet and relax
Meals - Vegetarian full board is available at an additional cost of 30 euros per person per day. Almost everybody chooses this option as its hassle free, great value and the food is terrific. Let us know when you book if you have any specific dietary requirements.
Those in the apartment are free to self-cater if they wish tho´most choose not to. Its entirely your choice.
Other accommodation option :
Beach Bungalows at Famara - recommended if travelling with family or friends who are not doing the breath sessions. They are also ideal if you really want to be alone. There may be variance on costs according to time of year or size of bungalow. They are overlooking Famara beach, there is a mini market nearby and ten minutes walk down the beach brings you to the small village of Caleta where you will find a small supermarket, cafes and restaurants. Ask for a quote as the price varies depending on time of year and the number of bedrooms.
Getting Around
Hiring a car is recommended as the villa is in rural location. Car hire is a very reasonable 120 euros per week and can be arranged on your behalf. Petrol is significantly cheaper than in the UK. You will still be met at the airport irrespective of whether or not you hire a car. It is remarkably easy to drive around the island. There is very little traffic and it´s a great way to experience the incredible landscapes and other places of interest. Whilst there are buses, they are not frequent, and nor do they go everywhere. Bicycle hire is also possible.
If you don't wish to drive, don't worry - we are happy to drop you at the beach etc and half or full island day tours are available.
Other Activities
Yoga, massage, personal fitness training, nature walks and even volcano climbs are also possible.
